Show Notes
In this final episode of our Summer of Swans, we travel to the California home of Joanne Carson where Truman Capote spent his last days in August of 1984.
Truman, infamous writer and collector of Swans, has some pretty epic stories in his last months, as told by his friends before his passing on August 25. Then, we drop in on Truman’s first memorial service with mourners attached to Dominick Dunne in so any ways, including John Gregory Dunne, Joan Didion, Carol Marcus Matthau, Robert Blake, Artie Shaw and Christopher Isherwood.
